[s-cars] S-Car Brake system conversion- Read- no more PS pumpintegration <question>

[John Cody Forbes]

Without GOOD engineering a vacuum assisted system is not exactly a good idea 
on a turbocharged car which is exactly why Audi went to hydraulic brake 
boosters anyways. The '95 A6 system would likely not be suitable. It could 
likely be made to work, but I don't think it's worth the risk of a failure 
at the wrong time. The modern cars use a venturi vacuum pump to create 
vacuum for the brakes even when on boost, but these venturi's fail (get 
clogged) on a somewhat regular basis.
